Thousand M< and Childrei t Gathering of the 1 'rit of it Was Fine, stness and Enthi Was Not B feat day. The martial led. Three thousand and children marched It was an inspiring parade was led by those 10 have seen many a hard Id and who have had a war as she was. There _ twenty-six of them, and the pa PHbtic fire blazed in their eyes and they marched with a quicker step. There were the Daughters of the,' American Revolution, tne u. u. v., the Sons of Veterans, the college boys and the school children and the mill boys and the Red Men and the Wood men of the World and the colored ( citizens and the bands from the three; cotton mills, and then the speeches. (Which we didn t hear. The com mittee made no arrangements for the reporters, if so we did not know It and it was too mucn 10 stauu auu > to make a note). Practically all of the business i houses were closed and the mills had J closed down and on account of the| hearing on the roads bonds from No. 4, there was a large attendance! from that section who remained overj for the demonstration. i The best of order prevaneu ami cr-| erything moved like a clock. The line of march followed the or-j der as published. As the procession ' passed on the square Miss Teressa Maybin stood, on the old court house ! steps with a lighted torch represent ing America as the light of the world, the statue of liberty. Along with her were Uncle Sam and Aunt Mar-! tha and a number of young ladies j representing txie xveu Viwo. ; The man whose blood doesn't tin- i gie just a little when the band plays! Dixie isn't much of an American, and! "we no longer wonder how the Con-! federates made so many brave! charges, for they could not help It as the band played Dixie even if they j had wanted to, which they didn't. It' gives one a sort of curious feeling j to listen to that music.' One feature of the parade was the' boys with the hoes. And Tuesday was a beautiful and a timely day for their use. President Wilson says there is as great, if not greater, de mand just now for the service of that ' brigade than there is for ar; other i part of the great *aj$ny which Is; forming. And we?l&>e every oneJ will read President Wilson's address! to his countrymen which we publish! in this issue of The Herald and News, j There is patriotic work for every! one to do. and now that the hurrahs/ ? S are over, and those that were over-1 ^ flowing with hot air have given it an[ outlet, it is time for every! patriot to get down to work and to enlist in some branch of the ^ great army that i9 forming to do his part for his country. They want men for the army. They want men for the navy. They want men for the; fields with the hoe and the plow.} Men who have money can help those who have none to do something in. the great wont mat ia WIV/J C VUV ; country. Mr. Wilson says: "There: is not a single selffish element, so! far as I can see, in the cause we are; fighting for. fWe are fighting for! what we believe and wish to be the' rights of mankind and for the fu-i tare peace and security of the world.1 To do this great thing worthily and J successfully we must devote our-1 * selves to the service without regard to profit or material advantage ana with an energy and intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise ^?K -nrmct rpnlirp to the full *? ^ UlUk-v how great the task is and how manyj things, how many kinds and elements! of capacity and service and selfsacri liee it involves." And then he goes on to enumerate some of the things to "be done besides fighting. These are great and true words of Mr. Wil son. Now that the hurrahs are over <?let all cooperate in the service fori which we are called. And don't say; to your neighbor, "Go," but with a J clarion voice tnat may oe nea.ru icti and near, say to him, "Come, let us all pull together, it is every man's duty to do his part." ' No use to abuse any one, not even the old Kaiser, and no use to say un-j "kind things of others who may not have agreed with you. Abuse never j won a victory and never will. Spend : your energy in the direction of doing j something worth while. No one is1 too old and no one is too young to do | his share. The organizations in the great pa rade . of Tuesday as we could catch them as they passed the corner were: The Whitmire Band. Old Veterans, James D. Nance camp, in command of Capt. Buford.

The speakers' stand was erected in the rear of the old court house build ing, and there was an immense crowd that stood in the sun to the end, and listened to the eloquent words andj soul stirring sentiments that were: S];U1VGU. JtUiil .VI. tVUldiQ picaiuou and prayer was offered by Dr. A. J. Rowers. Prof. S. J. Derrick read tne resolutions which were adopted. Trie Sve minute speeches were made by Geo. B. Cromer, Otto Klettner, E. W. Fisher, W. H. Hunt. The orators ot; the day were Dr., Lee Davis Lodg? > of Gaffnev, president of Limestone i college; and Rev. Richard Carroll off Columbia. The committee in charge of the ar rangements for the parade appoint ed at a meeting held last week were: John M. Kinard, S. J. Derrick, John H. Wicker, Mrs. W. H. Hunt, Mrs. P. Z. Wilson. The marshals of the day were: John H. Wicker, W. A. Hill, R. H. Wright, T. Earle Hipp, J. G. Driver. Everything moved smoothly and there was perfect order and the great: majority seemed to have grasped the; seriousnes of the situation. There j iVineo i n r\o ro H a Vtarfl W C1 V/ tux/ct iu tuv uu\/ ?? i?v *iv?u witnessed the departure of the boys in the sixties and they knew what war was and what war is. C'apt. Pryor has his company ot high school boys well drilled and they showed up well in the parade on Tuesday. The Red Cross girls were also well drilled and made a fine ap pearance. All of the mills turned out beautl fully for the parade. The little -wagon with the gray mule j ( carried the Mollohon string band and the mule seemed to he accustomed! j to the military music and behaved . /beautifully. ( In the Mollohon section were chit- i| dren four years old and Mrs. rfSters carried her baby boy in her arms ] during the entire parade. 1 The sun -was hot and fell with full \ force on the crowd assembled in the i rear square but the men and women ] and children stood it out. j Those who heard him, sny thati j .Richard Carroll did some plain talk-j ing to the members oi his race who J j were present. It is hoped that it will ] bear good fruit. i We print in full the five minute j speech of Hon. Otto Klettner. It wasr \ written for the reason stated by him. j The Herald and News requested' a j copy for publication. Mr. Klettner Is ] not only a native born German but t he has two brothers in the German ( army and many relatives, nephews i < and others, and yet as an adopted son < of America he is true to the colors I' and will do his part in any emer-l j gencv as he has always done. He j t has been a citizen of Newberry for) ? more than thirty years and no better! or truer citizen ever lived here. Hej has he!4 many positions of honor and; trust and has been true in all o! them. Mr. Klettner's Speech. Mr. Chairman, Ladies, Friends and Fellow Citizens: There are indeed very few. if any, outside of myself in this vast pa triotic assembly, whose heart fe^ls more keenly ana tnroos witn a n>:e; emotion as my own. In order that my remarks may not be misconstrued or misunderstood, i; } shall read what I have to say on tlii3 occasion. My friends?far?far be it from rnc to deny, even for a moment c a sift- i gle instant that my hearr does not i bleed to a certain extent for my for- ( mer native home, the land in which I was born, the land which gave me j life and lieht I s Haw glad -would I be could I see "thee proud Germany" blossom, bloom, prosper and succeed in all thy lawful undertakings. What greater joy, than to continue to extend the helping hand to rela .ives and friends left beyond long,; ong years ago. i Would, that the day had never la?wned, when love and duty clash! [-laving left my former home in early ;hildliood and sworn allegiance to America?the greatest country in all :he world, the land o fthe free and the aoine of the brave, where every man :>f every clime and nation is treated *-ith equal consideration, I feel that it is my sacred duty, the duty of ev 2ry true, honorable loyal citizen, es pecially is it the duty of every natur alized German-American citizen who buis received, accepted and enjoyed the many privileges, tlie freedom and pro tection of this great commonwealth, to stnnd by the colors, the flag oi red, white and blue, and wave the Stfir Snnngled Banner in the face of every foe. The time to question which of the nations are in the right or which of the nations are in the wrong is a mat ter of the past. Congress has spoken, the time to act is now at hand. Every loyal American must stand ready?ready to fall in line at the bugle call. The most vital question agitating the public mind is the question: "Will the German-American citizens be true and loyal to America?" Without hesi tation I answer, Yes! Ten thousand times, yes. History records not a single in stant. where people of German de cent have ever failed to support ana to honor the flag of the land in which they live as their adopted home. I say to you, one and all? The German-American citizens, be they Hebrews or Gentiles, rich or poor, learned or unlearned, you will find them to be (almost to a man) loyal to the oath of allegiance they have taken. You will find them, as ready ana as willing as any American "born, to undergo every hardship and make any sacrifice, to defend the honor and uphold the dignity of this great com monwealth. You will find them to stand ever ready to promote the welfare, pro tect the property and defend the life of all?men, women and children, liv ing in this great land, this their adopted home. Like yonder Confederate soldiers? "The Men in Gcay"?who immortal ized themselves by fighting so gal lantly for Dixie, during the Civil T" - on/I s\( -n-.l-i/sm rirtn- rmlv ft f#>W remain a3 living monuments of that glorious history, so will you find ev ery true German-American, or his son. fighting side by side of your father, husband or son, until a glori ous victory shall have been won, and the Star Spangled Banner shall pro claim freedom to all nations in the whole world. Equal rights to all and sneoial nrivileees to none. A Patriotic Meeting in Newberry, (By Richard Carroll.) Mr. Editor: I write because I was amazed as I looked over the great crowd of people attending this meet ing. It was the best and most sol emn patriotic meeting I have wit nessed anywhere. Newberry cer tainly leads. In that great crowd there stood for hours, old men, little cuniaren, men uuu vnuluch, nuiic black, listening to patriotic speeches. It would have been an inspiration for any people in the United States to have looked into the earnest, pa tient faces of the crowd who seemed :o realize that their being there was no play thing. They were solemn md serious; loyal to the flag and to :heir country. The presiding officer, Mr. Kinard, ' ' nt?alT^Jf .11 lea JQ1S POSIUOU WCIX auu yivmm. limself to be a good leader. Then rou did the right thing when you nvited colored people to attend this patriotic meeting. This will do more :o make the negroes contented and 'eel that they have a part in the rais-j ng of foodstuffs than anything elsei [ know of. I understand that only ;wo other States have had such co-i >peration, namely, Virginia and North ^-/-wH-rva Tt makes a lasting: impres-i jion on the minds of the negroes. These colored people in Newberry :eel that they are at home and that ;he white people care for them and ire concerned about their welfare. It jvas a patriotic meeting that should 3e emulated. The behaviour of the uidience was unsurpassed even by :he little children who stood so pa tently and long. The march was or ierlv. As I watched the old Confed erate veterans in line I could not help 2Ut shed tears. j Central W. E. Church, South* (Rev. F. E. Dibble, Pastor.)
